Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive brass fanfare that opens track 1, immediately signaling a more aggressive live-band energy than their 90s work.
The smooth transition into the neo-soul influenced bridge of 'Was It Love?' where the rap flow softens into melodic harmony.
The frantic, high-tempo percussion breakdown in 'Get Busy' that pushes the jazz-fusion elements to their limit.
